DEFECT #1 - TIRES
Posted on: 2002-05-20
Description
Certain heavy duty trucks, truck tractors, and buses equipped with 195/75r22.5 tires mounted on 7.5 inch wide wheels fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars. These tires and rims do not match.
Consequence
Tires mounted on rims that are too narrow could experience a decrease in sidewall durability, and could also experience higher treadwear for tires mounted on the steering axle.
Corrective Action
Dealers will install new rims of an acceptable width (8.25 - 9 9inches) for the 295/75r22.5 tire size. Owner notification began august 23, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

DEFECT #3 - WHEELS:CENTER SECTION
Posted on: 1996-03-12
Description
The front wheel hub can develop cracks at the wheel mounting studs. When mounted to the hub, the hydraulic brake disc rotor does not properly support the hub at the wheel studs causing excessive stress and fatigue cracks in the hub.
Consequence
Should sufficient cracks occur, the mounting flange portion of the hub along with the wheel could separate from the vehicle without warning. Should this occur while the vehicle is driven, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and/or the separated wheel and hub could strike another vehicle, pedestrian or property.
Corrective Action
Dealers will install new, redesigned hubs on these vehicles.
Notes
System: wheels; hub. Vehicle description: school and transit buses and medium duty trucks built with 9,000, 10,000, 11,000 or 12,000 pound front axle, hydraulic disc brakes, and hub mounted disc wheels. Note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreedupon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
